About AV Planners
AV Planners designs and delivers audio-visual systems that make collaboration simple, reliable, and effective. We help organizations create conference rooms, video conferencing environments, and hybrid workspaces that work the way people actually use them — without unnecessary complexity.
Based in Los Angeles, AV Planners works with organizations across a range of industries to design, install, and support AV systems that scale with their teams and adapt to real-world workflows.
Who We Are
AV Planners is a full-service audiovisual integration firm with decades of combined experience across commercial, education, healthcare, legal, and creative environments. Our team brings together technical expertise, thoughtful design, and hands-on execution to deliver systems that are intuitive, dependable, and built to last.
We take a practical, collaborative approach to every project. From early discovery and system design through installation, commissioning, and ongoing support, we stay closely involved to ensure the technology performs as expected — and continues to do so long after installation is complete.
What We Do
We design and support AV systems for spaces where communication matters, including:
-
Conference rooms and executive boardrooms
-
Zoom Rooms and Microsoft Teams Rooms
-
Hybrid workspaces and collaboration environments
-
Training rooms, classrooms, and presentation spaces
Our services include AV system design and engineering, equipment integration, installation, commissioning, and long-term support. We focus on systems that are easy for teams to operate day to day, not solutions that require constant IT intervention.
How we Work
Every project starts with understanding how a space is actually used. Meetings, presentations, creative reviews, and hybrid collaboration all place different demands on technology, and our job is to design systems that seamlessly support those needs.
We prioritize:
-
Clear audio and video performance
-
Simple, intuitive control
-
Reliable day-to-day operation
-
Clean, professional installations
The result is AV that fades into the background, allowing people to focus on the conversation—not the technology.
Experience That Transfers
Our work spans a wide range of environments, from small teams to large, fast-moving organizations. That experience allows us to anticipate common challenges and design solutions to avoid them, whether the goal is to improve hybrid meetings, upgrade existing rooms, or build new spaces from the ground up.
While we’re proud of our roots in Los Angeles, our approach and expertise translate well beyond a single market. The challenges of modern collaboration are universal, and our systems are designed with that in mind.
Our Goal
Our goal is simple: to deliver AV systems that work reliably, are easy to use, and support how people communicate today—and tomorrow.

HEAR FROM OUR CLIENTS
I worked with Kenton at AV Planners, who provided exceptional products and services when installing Crestron videoconferencing equipment for my one extra-large and one small conference room.
AV Planners designed and implemented a system that allows us to view four on-site clinical treatment rooms simultaneously, toggle among them, and also allow for a remote clinical supervisor to view the rooms and discuss cases with clinicians in our conference room as needed.
Very professional team. We (at a private school) had them do an install that I thought would take a week, and they were done in two days. Everything works great -- better than expected. We will use them again.
We had AV Planners handle the AV and office security setup for our new office space. I was really pleased with how they were able to translate my wants and needs into reality. The setup is great and so easy for our team to use.
We had AV Planners handle the AV and office security setup for our new office space. I was pleased with how they were able to translate my wants and needs into reality. The setup is great and so easy for our team to use. Kenton was our primary contact and he was very available, presented us with various options as we went through the design phase, explained the pros and cons of the different solutions, and did a great job transitioning knowledge. I'm really happy to have them as our partners in this area.
AV Planners live up to their name. They listen, they plan, they execute. We hired them to help us design and install a large media wall with complex custom mounting and an audio system for a 3000 sq. ft. medical office on Rodeo Drive.
